Shenkeng Old Street

Shenkeng Old Street is located in the scenic mountains of Shenkeng District outside Taipei. In recent years, the local toufu has become famous and people from near and far come to taste it and take some home. The Old Street is lined with stores and stalls offering food and crafts for sale. It’s a great place to snack and stroll around.

The century-old bishop wood and camphor tree at the entrance of Shenkeng Old Street is a famous landmark! After the restoration, the old street has regained its former style and charm. So, relish the historic surroundings as you savor your fresh snacks!

Of course, you can’t miss out on Shenkeng’s famous toufu (tofu, bean curd), available in an endless variety of preparations from the stalls and eateries along the street. The Shuicheng Toufu Store opened 40 years ago and is now run by the second generation. The public has voted this the store with the most authentic toufu snacks. Braised toufu, toufu chowder, and sweet and sour fish are Shenkeng’s three most famous dishes. You haven’t been to Shenkeng until you’ve tasted all three of these!

Moakong is located in the Wenshan District on the southern outskirts of ​​Taipei City. It is a small valley on the east side of Muzha. Over time, the river has carved a deep valley through the soft soil of this area. The place takes its name from a “cat digging” in reference to this ancient erosion. Close the city, Maokong features several mountain trails to explore. On a clear day, you can overlook the entire city from here, which is especially beautiful at night. Maokong is one of the largest tea-producing areas around Taipei. At present, the combination of traditional tea culture and healthy dining is what makes Maokong a popular destination for the weekend and holidays.

Nicknamed “Taiwan’s Small Thousand Islands Lake” (in reference to its bigger namesake in China), Qiandao Lake is located upstream from the Feitsui Reservoir. Mountain ridges and bodies of water have created a maze of lakes and islets. The area offers breathtaking scenery of hills covered with forests and plantations and streams and lakes of different shades of blue and green.

When the weather is clear, the surface of Qiandao Lake is green. On a cloudless day, the blue sky is reflected in the water, changing it to a bluer shade. Not far from Xindian, the lake is a popular spot among Taipei residents for an outing in nature. Without going to China, you can now say you’ve seen the (a) Thousand Islands Lake.

4. Zoo

The Taipei City Zoo is located in Wanxing Community, Wenshan District, Taipei City. The zoo covers an area of ​​165 hectares. It was founded in 1914 at Yuanshan as the city’s official zoo and exhibited birds, mammals and reptiles. Its most famous animal was a gorilla, which was memorialized in a statue after its death. Unfortunately, it was damaged during the relocation of the zoo. The zoo was badly damaged during World War II, so, in 1946 after the war, the zoo was rebuilt and new animals were added, as well as animal performances which the public loved. After 30 years the curtain dropped for the zoo at its first location.

Taipei Zoo has both an indoor display area and an outdoor display area. The outdoor area houses Taiwanese native and endemic animals, a petting zoo for little children, an Asian tropical rainforest area, a desert animal area, Australian animal area, African animal area, temperate animal area, a bird park, a water fowl observation area, a wetland ecological park, a bug exploration valley and a fern garden. The indoor exhibition hall comprises an education center, insect hall, amphibian and reptile hall, a koala hall, penguin hall, and a cool energy-saving house, which together make the zoo a highly diverse and fun place.
